Post-IPO equity rounds in this Canada set show a sharp disclosed-size split: Xenon Pharmaceuticals’ $288M round on 2022-06-22 dwarfs the rest, with the next-largest disclosed amounts including Rumble’s $100M (2022-09-19) and Tamarack Valley Energy’s $125M (2022-09-12), while many other entries cluster far below $10M (for example, Ridgeline Minerals at $450K on 2022-10-18 and Orea Mining at $170K on 2022-06-13). On sector, Natural Resources is the clearest concentration with 12 entries, including multiple Vancouver-based companies (e.g., Liberty Defense $4M on 2022-10-27; Canada Carbon Inc $800K on 2022-10-03; USHA Resources $3M on 2022-06-15), while Biotechnology also appears frequently (6 entries) across cities like Vancouver and Toronto.
Temporal concentration is visible as well: the newest row is Liberty Defense on 2022-10-27, and the oldest is Astra Exploration on 2022-06-07, spanning roughly the middle of 2022. Amount disclosures also include a “missing” cluster: 1 round is marked undisclosed (Urbanimmersive, 2022-10-11), and the smallest disclosed amount is Orea Mining’s $170K (2022-06-13).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed post-IPO equity round is the size outlier, and how far above the rest is it?
Xenon Pharmaceuticals’ $288M round on 2022-06-22 is the only disclosed figure at that scale in this list and dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts such as Tamarack Valley Energy’s $125M (2022-09-12) and Rumble’s $100M (2022-09-19).
Do these recent entries concentrate in particular sectors or geographies?
Natural Resources is the most over-represented sector with 12 entries, and many of those are Vancouver-based (e.g., Liberty Defense $4M on 2022-10-27; Canada Carbon Inc $800K on 2022-10-03; USHA Resources $3M on 2022-06-15). Biotechnology is the next most common sector at 6 entries, spread across Vancouver and Toronto (e.g., Nepture Wellness Solutions $6M on 2022-10-06 and Medicenna Therapeutics $20M on 2022-08-09).
Are there any tight time windows where multiple rounds close close together?
Yes. September 2022 contains repeated large and mid-sized disclosed rounds, including Gold Royalty Corp $28M (2022-09-15), PopReach $10M (2022-09-22), and Rumble $100M (2022-09-19), indicating a dense mid-to-late September cluster within the broader June–October 2022 span.
How common are missing or low-end disclosures in this segment?
Only 1 of the 50 entries is undisclosed (Urbanimmersive on 2022-10-11), while the smallest disclosed amount is Orea Mining’s $170K on 2022-06-13. Most of the disclosed amounts sit above that floor, with several in the sub-$1M range such as Koios Beverage Corp $70K (2022-10-03) and Ridgeline Minerals $450K (2022-10-18).
Which companies define the upper end of disclosed amounts aside from the top outlier?
Beyond Xenon Pharmaceuticals’ $288M (2022-06-22), the upper band includes Tamarack Valley Energy at $125M (2022-09-12), Rumble at $100M (2022-09-19), and Gold Royalty Corp at $28M (2022-09-15). Several other entries land in the $20M–$40M range, including Medicenna Therapeutics $20M (2022-08-09) and D-Wave Systems $40M (2022-08-08).
Where do the extremes in timing sit within the displayed rows?
The most recent row is Liberty Defense on 2022-10-27, and the earliest is Astra Exploration on 2022-06-07. The size outlier (Xenon Pharmaceuticals $288M) falls in the middle of that window on 2022-06-22, not at the temporal edges.
